Scheduled Tasks Problem

Guest

I asked about defraging in the Scheduled tasks not to long ago. Someone told
me how to do it but he was incorrect and it did not work. Basically what I
want to do is get my computer to automatically defrag drive C:, do a disk
cleanup, scan with Norton Anti-virus 2004, and scan with spyBot- S&D. i want
this all to be done at different times in the night while no body is logged
on to the computer. How can this be done? Remember that no body will be on
the computer at 12:00 am, 1:00 am, 2:00 am etc. so I can't have the defrag
window popping up saying that I have to click OK to continue.

A scheduled task for Defrag can only work when you use the
command-line DEFRAG tool. Type
DEFRAG /?
at a DOS prompt and then compose a command-line that fits your needs
to run this via a Scheduled Task.
